Additionally, the seats are covered in Nappa leather upholstery and it features dual sunroofs. The 12-speaker Bose sound system enhances the audio in the cabin. In the second row, Premium Relaxion seats offer power adjustments, integrated leg rests, and seat ventilation, underscoring the MPV’s lounge-like comfort.
Under the hood, the Staria Prestige retains the 2.2-litre CRDi four-cylinder turbodiesel engine, delivering 177 hp and 430 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Performance figures are expected to stay the same, with a 0–100 km/h time of 12.4 seconds and a top speed of 185 km/h.
